Besides being back-to-school it is also back-to-football season!  We love watching a game or two on Sundays.  I always make a pot of soup or chili which can sit in a slow cooker on warm for a few hours and everyone can help themselves.  Here is a great dinner planner for the week!

Monday: Roasted vegetables enchiladas verde

Tuesday: Spaghetti squash with herbs and pecorino, chicken kebobs with chimichurri

Wednesday: Grilled wild salmon with fennel and dill butter from the Yummy Supper Cookbook

Thursday: Turkey tacos, rice and black beans, tortilla or large lettuce leaves, salsa and guacamole

Friday: Green goddess salad with grilled shrimp or chicken

Saturday lunch: Spinach and quinoa salad with feta and dill

Sunday: Late summer minestrone, pizza quesadillas
